Wed, 04 Feb 2015 00:23:39 GMTI've never had problems in the last few months (I just inherited a tank in September) or maybe I just got really lucky. Couple days ago I did a water change and my fish we acting a bit weird. Did my testing and the water from my tap had very large amounts of ammonia :( Right is from my tank, after the water change, didn't realize my dechloinator didn't do anything about ammonia - that's fixed now!
Tested again today, ammonia is gone, yay! BUT Nitrites in my tank were a bit high, before the change they were at 0 so I test both annnnnd
The test was supposed to sit for 5 minutes, I watched it turn deep purple in less then a minute
I'm afraid to use my tap water now :irked:

I've learned my lesson
